Why i am getting this error? In PHP

@jlrdw but i my case, I am unable to understand the logic behind why it's running to much time with the based on given url .. used this and problem solved

require_once __DIR__ . '/router.php';

but going with when require keyword

require __DIR__ . '/router.php';

then it shows the error as i mentioned in this forum starting to it.. I want to know Why it behaves like this sir? By the way thanks for commenting 🙏

@Shivamyadav that shouldn't make a difference. I suggest you make sure you have everything setup correct. There is a difference in php artisan serve and apache or nginx.

@tisuchi yes it worked, but what about that sir when it doesn't find the home url from the $routes array it will always render me on a 404 page, any idea🤷‍♂️

@Shivamyadav '/' => '/home.php',

@Snapey yeah sure sir, but when I use this means add this in my $routes array then I get the error I have mentioned at the top of this discussion forum have a look sir please🙏.

@Snapey or here it is sir have a look

This is the my index.php file code

<?php
echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$uri = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])['path'];
$routes = [
    '/' => '/index.php',
    '/register' => '/register.php',
    '/login' => '/forms/login/login.php',
    '/logout' => '/forms/logout/logout.php',
    '/admin/profile' => '/forms/admin/index.php',
    '/contact' => 'controllers/contact.php',
];

// function routeToController($uri, $routes) {
if (array_key_exists($uri, $routes)) {
    require __DIR__ . $routes[$uri];
} else {
    echo "404 page not found!";
}
?>

as i have written in line 2 echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; when i run this in the browser i am getting this error and why this line is executing many times ? 🤷‍♂️

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
it shows this line means i have set this to main index page call on this url. It shows many time untill the memory exhausted why ?
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12288 bytes) in C:\laragon\www\php e-commerce project\index.php on line 19

@Shivamyadav you have already had that answered, you have an infinite loop

Do you have an .htaccess file

@Snapey but how it goes to an infinity loop sir🤷‍♂️ unable to understand, yeah but .htaccess in inside the php directory not in my project folder
